Glenn Danzig recently discussed the upcoming Misfits reunion with Rolling Stone. You can see some of what he had to say below.

He offered his thoughts on the two Riot Fest shows:

“I don’t think people should question it too much. It may have never happened, but it is going to happen for at least two shows. We’ll see how it goes. It may lead to some other work, but who knows how it’s going to turn out? I mean, I don’t think it’s going to be a disaster, I think it’s going to be incredible.”

He also talked about the large amount of musician deaths this year, and how they influenced the reunion:

“It’s been a shock to see so many musicians dying this year. A lot of them weren’t really that old. David Bowie’s death came out of the blue, as did Prince’s. And I’ve said it before with Peter Steele and Dio: If you’re a music fan, you think these artists will be here forever, but you should enjoy them while they’re here, because you never know what will happen. You’ve got to enjoy it and let it happen before everybody dies.”

He also commented on his and Jerry Only’s relationship:

“We haven’t been friends. In the beginning we were friends but … certain things happened that made it not a friendship. We’re putting that in the past.”

He then added:

“Obviously, this reunion is special. We haven’t played together in 33 years, so we know it will be special. I’m just going to do what I normally do. which is to go out there and try and have a great time myself and make sure everybody has a fantastic fucking time. I want them to be so blown away they don’t know what the fuck just hit them.”
